iciris said:I'm I the only one without a black walnut tree? Confused over the years I've wanted to get a Chandler Walnut tree but the are so expensive and was told they take a long time to produce nuts. Shrug!


Here in the east, the native black walnut is everywhere. There are many plants that can't live within its root zone/drip line because all its parts, especially the roots, contain a toxin. The nuts are edible, but opening them requires a hammer or some such thing as the shells are incredibly hard and thick.
